I know 8 GBs is a lot and it's unecessary but i was just saying in general.....how powerful would your computer be if you had 8 gigs of ram. A person mentioned that it wouldn't work unless it's used for a server which is probably right so i don't think there is any way of actually using it on a normal computer. But if you could, that could be a beast.

And there is any proof? I would say under Vista it will give only a slight decrease in performance. But there isn't really a good benching of it to really see the difference in performace in real world.

There is far to much memory to allocate, your computer would be lagging behind everything you do, and the kid next to you with 2 gigs will be laughing at you.

Oh, and in 30-40 years there will be computers with 1 TB of RAM, but then on those computers you will have simulations of real life, full and depicted with full VR. Trust me, Bill Gates once said that 64K ought to be enough for anybody, and look at where we are now.
